I keep losing Draft Replies I made.
Anyway here goes.
So I managed to get my Stormer MOT'd finally - it was first road registered by the previous owner in 1976. This was the first time it had been on the road (legally, at least) since 1982 (I think). Passed, no advisories.
Anyway, that is another story - as this is all about the AMAL MK2 set up.
For the MOT I was running a "refurbed" 34mm, running:
50 Cold Star
20 Pilot
108 Needle on postion 3
370 Main (I have no idea why - must have been possesed by an imp or something)
3.5 Cut away
As previously mentioned, it was a bit fluffy, but the run to the Testing station revealed that it was horribly over jetted and would not full full throttle.
This weekend saw the appearance of long awaited new 34m from Burlen (they refer to it as a Silk fitment).
Same spec as above but with a much more reasonable 320 Main.
So it started on Choke, but was not a happy bunny off choke - and would die almost immediately.
A blast up the road showed that full chat was a pretty perfect - the 320 is obviously doing its bit.
No amount of fiddling will get it to idle - so it looks like upping the Pilot to 25 is on the cards.
I was much happier with my DIY hose job - connecting to the standard filter. This is 55mm Alumium flexible hose - sourced from FleaBay. It all seems to be air tight and matched with angled Intake from a Norton, appears to provide suffcient support for the 2934. I have (he says hopefully) uploaded a picture.
I will write in more detail under seperate post, the story of the renovation (to date).
